What is a Sitecore Horizon?

Recently Sitecore launched Horizon Editor with Sitecore Experience Platform 9.3. Horizon is the next generation experience for web content management.

Horizon is a combination of Content editor and Experience Editor.

Horizon is providing many features, but my personal favorite feature is auto-saved because in experience editor, the content editor needs to click on save after applying any changes.

Horizon is much more clean, simple. Horizon is proving below functionality:

  • Autosave
  • Customize the view
  • Undo/Redo
  • Delete a page or folder
  • Create a page
  • Change display name
  • Edit a page
  • Publish page
  • Add rendering
  • Page Editor
  • Preview a site in Simulator
  • View page insights
